3/1/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human got a decent night's sleep last night, and is in a much better mood as a result. The news on my end is good. I did not get measured for my cap and gown in vain; I passed my dissertation defense with flying colors, a rarity in the academic world. This means that the coast is clear for my...

2/28/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

Many of the same felines who went to the Oscar ceremony last night are planning what they are going to do the rest of the time they have in California. One option is Knotts Berry Farm; another is a tour of the stars' homes. I'm just glad I'm too preoccupied with my human to go along with this... Sign in to see full entry.

2/27/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human has been feeling better of late. She still is on the mend, however, as she finds out every time she tries to move one leg. Apparently, it hurts slightly to move it - just enough to remind my human of her humanity. Several of my friends - a group of several hundred of my friends, actually -... Sign in to see full entry.

2/25/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

I defended my dissertation yesterday. It was far harder to do so than I imagined, but I'm glad I went through with the defense. I will know whether or not I passed this stage of my doctoral studies within a few days, but I got the impression that I will definitely get my DFN degree in June. My human...

2/22/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human is doing well enough that I don't worry about her as much. Oh, I give her the occasional snuggle and headbutt, but I am not watching her every minute as I have in the past. I can tell from the way she acts that she appreciates all the attention she has gotten since going missing on me the... Sign in to see full entry.

2/19/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

I finally have a date for my dissertation defense - next Thursday. It promises to be a red-letter day for me, because I respect the members of my defense committee so much. My human is doing much better right now. She was a bit shaky this morning, but once she got some food in her system, she turned... Sign in to see full entry.

2/18/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human is doing marvelously well today. I'm grateful for this. She has told me of the results of the Westminster dog show this past Monday and Tuesday. I still don't understand what show the Best in Show dog is best in. As a matter of fact, I don't understand just what the fuss with dogs is all... Sign in to see full entry.

2/16/2005 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

My human went missing on me again, this time for almost two full months. At least I had something - mainly my doctoral dissertation - to keep me busy in her absence. Speaking of my doctoral dissertation, it's almost finished, and ready to be defended before a committee of my feline-nursing peers. I... Sign in to see full entry.

12/21/2004 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

Today is the shortest day of the year, and the first day of winter. Details like this matter more to humans than they do to me as a feline, however. The reason why it has taken me so long to dictate another entry is that my human fried another keyboard yesterday. Someone was stupid enough to leave a... Sign in to see full entry.

12/17/2004 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes

I am happy to report that there is nothing important to report here today. My human has worked on her Christmas cards, and has felt much better since she did so. I am so glad when she does things like this, as it makes life easier for me. I don't have to watch her as closely when she is active and... Sign in to see full entry.
